FAQs / Digital Evidence Management
Digital Evidence Management
Why is chain of custody important?
It ensures evidence remains authentic, untampered, and legally admissible by documenting every stage of handling and transfer.
Can a video recording be used as evidence in court?
Yes. Video evidence is admissible when it meets three requirements: it must be relevant to the facts in dispute, authenticated as accurate and unaltered, and free from hearsay or other exclusionary issues. A documented chain of custody and proper submission procedure are essential for admissibility.
Body cam, CCTV, dashcam, and smartphone video are all regularly admitted across criminal and civil proceedings.
How do you submit video evidence in court?
Mark the video as a numbered exhibit, file chain of custody documentation and a transcript with the clerk, disclose it to opposing counsel during discovery, lay proper foundation at trial (authentication + relevance), then move for admission before playing it.

What is secure evidence sharing?
Secure evidence sharing protects the integrity and admissibility of digital evidence by preventing unauthorized access, broken chain of custody, information exposure, and investigation delays. It ensures the right people can access evidence quickly while maintaining security and compliance.
What is tamper detection in digital evidence?
Tamper detection refers to the technical controls used to identify unauthorized alterations to digital files. In digital evidence management, it typically involves cryptographic hash validation, audit logging, and access governance to ensure that files remain unchanged from ingestion through presentation.
What is video evidence management for law firms?

It includes AI-powered indexing to make footage searchable by object, timestamp, and spoken word; chain-of-custody documentation for court admissibility; role-based access control at the matter level; and controlled sharing with co-counsel, opposing parties, and courts.
